Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

"The Bogaman Cup champion in Zhijiang, that's quite an achievement. This Ibrahimovic should be interesting."

"Xia Chen? That name sounds familiar... I think I've heard it before?"

"I remember now, isn't this the high school student who researched Milotic's second evolutionary form a while ago? He's not a breeding major?"

"Hiss, the battle and cultivation both flourish?"

"Old Song has been talking about me for so long, I never expected to see him here. Why didn't such an academic genius go to Yuhong University?"

"I don't know, but our Peking University's Cultivation Department is no slouch either. What if he doesn't pass this exam? How about we admit him to the Cultivation Department early?"

"Wonderful!"

While the discussion among the guests on the sidelines was in full swing, the third whistle blew on the battlefield.

The final match of the first round of the Tokyo University entrance tournament, Mahrez vs. Ibrahimovic, has officially begun!

------

"Machoke, charge in and use Brick Break to crush it!"

Wu Fang's command was straightforward and bold.

However, there's no need for any tactics when fighting an Eevee. Given the difference in strength and the type advantage, Wu Fang really couldn't imagine how he could lose.

All Machoke needs to do is get close and then ruthlessly defeat that little Eevee!

The entire series of matches took place in a standard amateur arena, which was not very large, with the initial distance between the two Pokémon being only a dozen meters.

Because its body is almost entirely covered by muscles, Hawley has an extremely high body density.

While possessing immense power, its slightly inferior speed and agility are unavoidable drawbacks.

Seeing that Haoli didn't use his bullet punch but walked straight over, Xia Chen calmly gave instructions from behind.

"Ibrahimovic, self-motivation."

Thanks to Ibrahimovic's amazing combat experience and reaction speed, Xia Chen usually chooses a playstyle that outsiders might think is incredibly greedy.

However, Ibrahimovic really enjoys this style of play. Just like in competitive games, the thrill of turning the tide is always greater than the satisfaction of having an easy win. This feeling of walking on the edge of danger makes Ibrahimovic's adrenaline surge, pushing his body to its limits.

Seeing Eevee standing still and buffing itself at the start of the game, Wu Fang remained unmoved.

It doesn't matter how much it's strengthened.

No matter how much your attack power is enhanced, it won't stop my mighty palm from shattering you!

Although Haoli is slow, it can cover a distance of more than ten meters in three seconds.

Three seconds is exactly the amount of time Ibrahimovic needs to motivate himself.

Ibrahimovic's long ears twitched slightly as he sensed the approaching heavy footsteps, remaining calm and composed.

Finally, the footsteps stopped, followed by the howling of the wind overhead.

The instant Hao Li paused, he struck out with his palm. His palm, bursting with dazzling white light, transformed into a blade and plummeted downwards.

The overwhelming momentum drew slight nods from the teachers watching the competition. To cultivate such outstanding Golems during high school, this "uncle" and his Golems were quite remarkable, even in a highly competitive recruitment competition.

So what about Ibrahimovic, who was unanimously considered to be "something special" before the match?

All the spectators looked down in the direction of Machamp's hand, only to find that Eevee, who had been motionless since her appearance, finally opened her eyes just before the iron fist smashed into her head.

Ibu's usually adorable big eyes now revealed a sharp and piercing look.

The hunting time has begun!

…………

Still as a virgin, swift as a rabbit – that perfectly describes Ibrahimovic at this moment.

Faced with the seemingly immense power of Machoke's Brick Break, Ibrahimovic did not choose to roll away, but instead lowered his stance and buried his head.

In the next instant, Ibuki's entire body lay sprawled on the ground, seemingly transforming into a soft, brown blanket.

The palm strike made a whooshing sound, but it stopped precisely above the "blanket," less than ten centimeters away.

".force?"

Not feeling the expected impact, Guai Li lowered his head in surprise, then revealed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"force?"

What kind of move is this?

[Flattened]?

Can you dodge attacks like that?

It wasn't just his incredible strength; even the experienced professors from the Department of Combat at Kyoto University were amazed by Ibrahimovic's boundless imagination.

"Did he calculate that the downward brick-splitting attack could only hit enemies in that specific spot? That amazing reaction and confidence... youth is truly wonderful."

"More importantly, it's about composure. Look at the trainer and that Eevee's expressions; they remained calm throughout, as if everything was being calculated."

"More importantly, Xia Chen only commanded one sentence from beginning to end: 'Release [Self-Improvement],' yet Eevee was able to dodge in this way the instant Self-Improvement ended. The tacit understanding between the trainer and the Pokémon is truly amazing!"

"Xia Chen's talent for commanding battles is probably no less than his talent for nurturing!"

……

The teachers were surprised to see such a big surprise at the end of the first round and discussed it excitedly.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the fighting continues.

But now, it's time for Ibrahimovic to strike back.

"Eevee, support power!"

Chapter 108 He knows more about Pokémon than we do!

Support Power, a very peculiar Psychic-type special attack move.

The more you enhance your abilities, the greater the power you will unleash when attacking your opponent with accumulated power.

Its base power in the game is only twenty, but it has an effect that the power of the move increases by twenty for each level the ability is upgraded.

In other words, one instance of self-motivation can improve one's performance by 40, and two instances of self-motivation can improve it by 80!

In reality, although there is no such thing as fixed damage for moves, the effects of moves are the same.

Therefore, after a self-motivation at the start of the game, without considering STAB bonuses, Eevee's support power is already comparable to Swift's damage.

There is only one reason why Xia Chen chose to use Support Power instead of Swift: his opponent is Machoke, a Fighting-type!

The double-strength support move is the one that Eevee currently knows best for fighting Machoke.

Ibrahimovic looked up, his unfocused eyes fixed on Hagoromo.

At this moment, the function of her eyes changed from forming vision to releasing superpowers.

An invisible force of telekinesis shot out from Eevee's lifeless eyes, and the powerful impact sent the muscular Machot repelled four or five meters away.

"force"

The power boosted by self-motivation was indeed remarkable. With just one move, the fully-powered Hao Li was already clutching his chest, panting heavily after being hit.

…………

Behind Hao Li, Wu Fang's expression was no longer as calm as before the battle began; his brows were furrowed into a deep frown.

A Pokémon knows its own Pokémon best. If it's a minor injury, a powerful Machoke wouldn't even bother to cover its wound.

That's normal. The support power boosted by self-motivation not only increases the damage of the support power's own moves, but also strengthens the special attack, plus the type advantage.

Wu Fang was having a headache; it was the first time he had ever felt that Ibrahimovic was so difficult to beat.

This applies not only to offense but also to defense.

With Ibrahimovic's "flattening" technique just demonstrated, Machoke will no longer be able to use Brick Break, a fighting move that relies on both hands.

So, what about using leg-powered techniques like a low kick or a kick that knocks someone down?

It seems that this is the only way.

There was no time left for him to think; Ibrahimovic's second boost was about to arrive.

With this in mind, Wu Fang no longer hesitated and shouted, "Haoli, charge!"

This time he was smarter. He didn't shout out his moves right away. He wanted to wait until Machoke charged in front of Eevee before shouting, so as to catch her off guard!

"force!"

Haoli roared with great momentum and charged forward again.

After Machamp was repelled by the support power, the two Pokémon were closer together, but only four or five meters apart.

If leg-based fighting techniques are used, the distance will actually be even shorter.

But when faced with Maverick's charge, at the critical moment, Xia Chen simply said, "Ibu, be careful to dodge."

"Buyi!"

Ibrahimovic responded seriously, getting up and preparing for battle.

…………

Xia Chen's command silenced the teachers on the sidelines.

Are you a beginner?

This is how you command a battle!

It would be better to shout "Get out of the way!" and try to awaken the bond between you and the spirit!

Several teachers who had just praised Xia Chen's conducting ability facepalmed. Were their guesses all wrong?

Was it a lucky accident?

What they didn't know was that Xia Chen had his own thoughts.

Commanding Io and commanding Milotic are two completely different things; the former is experienced and quick-witted, while the latter is the complete opposite.

Xia Chen had also tried to command Ibrahimovic in every detail, but the result was that it was exhausting and time-consuming.

Ibrahimovic's reaction speed is much faster than Xia Chen's, and he can always find the optimal solution in a given scenario.
